This past January, the DoubleBrick community presented an all-new idea of entertainment for LEGO fans. It’s very simple: we suggest that you build a copy of any real truck from LEGO bricks and to compete in races for fastest and most accurate cargo delivery. You can run small racing competitions at your local club meeting or schedule the contest as part of a large event – it’s always fun and attentiongetting, as highly detailed working truck models are good for display at any show. The basic idea is simple and straightforward. One has not to be a technic geek to build a truck. Still, there a lot of possibilities for experienced builders to show their skills.

This model was built by two members of DoubleBrick Dan and Hor, and was first time shown to public on LEGO World Show 2008 in Oslo.

The idea of building the Spasskaya Tower came to us as we were discussing which model to build for LEGO World Show 2008 in Oslo. It was the first time a team from Russia participated in such show. That is why it was vital to create not only a beautiful model that was no worse than others but it also had to be easy to recognize. During our discussion we decided to build the walls of red bricks, since they are a typical feature of our national architecture.

Several minutes ago this year’s LEGO Ambassadors election results were announced. And we proudly inform you that among the elected is a representative of our Community – a well-known and honored member Dan. We all would like to congratulate Dan on his election as an Ambassador and we expect him to do his best in the hard mission of popularization of LEGO in Russia. Those who may wish to congratulate Dan personally may do it on our forum.
